Correct, which is why they cannot raise rates without causing an economic collapse. Therefore, they want the economic collapse to be due to their inaction, not action and then can later claim "we didn't foresee this particular sequence of events".
i doubt real money borrowing will materially change if rates go up 1%. What will change is the allocation of stocks to bonds and the stock market will fall pretty hard.
You paid for the education and well being of those people. Your children unwittingly agreed to pay for the environmental damage. ALL todays' money is a promise from the future-ie someone else's expense
Market Crash?? Which market? Which Index?? very bizarre thread here. There are only 4-5 stocks weighting and guiding the NASDAQ and they certainly aren't going to crash. Many of the other hyped NASDAQ stocks heavily traded in 2020 are down 60%. Dow certainly set up never to crash even though I would never invest in any of those 30. The Index committees sit all day, every day propping their stock placement and weights in order for the index never to crash. However, the stocks with low weightings HAVE CRASHED ALREADY... maybe this was missed this but I can not see how? There has been harsh selling for months and months now. Should we ask Cathie this question?...lol The market looks far forward. As the masses asking about a crash...the traders are buying the cheap shares that have already crashed. As the masses been fretting over a crash, fully designed indexes have stayed at ATH or been bought at every slight dip. Many just skip the index and buy the three or four and hold. Will Amazon crash, or Tesla, or apple, or google?? This is not Rocket science...its autonomous driving
Hahaha, nice, you nailed it vanzandt!!! How low do you think it will go? Another beautiful day in the market!!!
